Catal Huyuk is now considered to be one of the earliest known ‘cities’ in the world. The city is 8,000 – 10,000 years old, and it had a population of about 6,000.
Houses were made out of brick. They don’t have doors, instead they have entrances on roofs, so it was easier and safer for people to enter that way. In Catal Huyuk the dead were buried inside houses.
Some of the people in Catal Huyuk lived by farming. They grew wheat and barley and they raised sheeps’ fur and herds of goats, they also kept dogs. However, they hunted animals such as aurochs, wolves, foxes and leopards. People in this city wore clothes that were woven from wool, and also wore jewelry made out of stone, bone and shell. They wove baskets of reeds, they also made pottery and used obsidian, a hard volcanic rock to make tools and weapons, as I mentioned in my notebook.
Craftsmen made dishes of wood, they also carved wooden boxes of storage. I’m not quite sure that the textbook mentioned religion, however I think it is still unknown what religion they believed in.
In conclusion, I think it was an amazing discovery and I hope archaeologists today find another fascinating city.
I assume that your explanation accounted what you meant about this question well and the informations you given were organized. The improvements you should focus on are specific-detailed sentences, more of fact (declarative sentences), and last of all try to be clear on some topics. -Kyle-
